Ever wondered how to photograph on film with strobe lights? This step by step tutorial will tell you how.
PocketWizards I use:

Some caveats for clarification:
This was shot on a medium format film camera but the same rules apply for 35mm film cameras: attach the PocketWizard to your cameras hot shoe and plug in the second PocketWizard to your strobe light.
If your film camera doesn’t have a hot shoe you can still connect via a sync cord (plug the sync cord into your camera and the other end into the PocketWizard).
If you don’t want to use a PocketWizard you can connect from your strobe light to your camera via a sync cable.
All that said, your mileage may vary. You may have to do some Googling for your specific camera/lights and experiment in the studio.
